Judging from the picture alone, I have seen much better welding. See Moots or Eriksen for a display of good welds.

FWIW; I had a budget Lynskey 29er with significantly cleaner welds.

The welds aren't great. My litespeed was much nicer and I've seen much much better from moots.

I love the look of the bike but id question the quality if they used this roughly welded frame as a show bike.
